This makes me pretty nervous, because it's not obvious it will come up
with the same numbers in all circumstances, which we have to do for
existing machine types.  It's also not obvious to me why it's useful
to go via this step before going straight to static allocation of the
irq numbers.

If you can convince me this will (in practice) return the same numbers
as the existing code for all valid setups, and that it's a useful
intermediate step, then I'll apply it.
